Abstract

A method for providing article information includes the following steps: an article request for obtaining an article to be read is received through a network from a present client. The article is analyzed to obtain several potential keywords from the article. An internal database is searched to obtain at least one representative keyword, which the potential words belong to, and transformation information between the at least one representative keyword and each potential keyword. A number of search results of the at least one representative keyword is obtained by searching an external database for calculating a number of search results of each potential keyword. Article-related information related to the article is generated according to the number of search results of the potential keywords. The article and the article-related information are combined to generate a web page for being transmitted to the present client through the network.

Abstract

A building texture extracting apparatus and a method thereof are provided, wherein the building texture extracting apparatus comprises a storage unit and a processor. The storage unit is configured to store an aerial image and a panoramic image of a building. There is a coordinate correlation between the aerial image and the panoramic image. The processor defines an edge segment of a building in the aerial image, calculates an edge function according to the edge segment, projects the edge function onto the panoramic image according to the coordinate correlation to derive an edge curve function, decides an edge curve segment according to the edge curve function, captures an image area under the edge curve segment to be a building texture of the building, and stores the building texture in the storage unit

Abstract

A real-time navigation electronic device based on determining current traffic rule information includes a positioning unit, a user interface, an information detecting-and-generating unit and a processing unit. The information detecting-and-generating unit detects and generates information for determining real-time traffic rule. The processing unit generates a navigation route according to the destination and the present position. The processing unit receives the information for determining real-time traffic rule. The processing unit determines if the information for determining real-time traffic rule conflicts with the navigation route or makes the navigation route not the quickest route. The processing unit re-generates the navigation route according to the destination, the present position and the information for determining real-time traffic rule when the information for determining real-time traffic rule conflicts with the navigation route or makes the navigation route not the quickest route. The processing unit outputs the navigation route.

Abstract

A system, a method and a recording medium for driving a programmable logic controller are disclosed. This system includes a server and an adaptive unit electrically connected to the server. When determining that a programmable logic controller is connected, a hardware layer management module of the adaptive unit informs the server. The server outputs a controller query data to query the programmable logic controller through the hardware layer management module. The server generates a control data conforming to a specification of the programmable logic controller according to a controller response data of the programmable logic controller, for the hardware layer management module to control the programmable logic controller.

Abstract

A method and a system for recognizing plant diseases and a recording medium are provided. The method includes: providing a plant disease database, for storing plant disease and disease characteristic image corresponding to the plant disease; after obtaining plant image by an image capture device, obtaining segmented plant image by an image processing unit according to a first processing technique, and obtaining suspected region image according to a second processing technique; calculating an area of the suspected region image, and when the area is greater than a preset area, using the suspected region image as syndrome image, and comparing the syndrome image with the disease characteristic image; and when the syndrome image matches any specific disease characteristic image, obtaining a corresponding specific plant disease.

Abstract
